i really had a lot of fun with this one.it's one blood soakedmovie.equal parts action,horror,comedy,science fiction.all the elementswork here.the movie is of course made to look grainy and faded to giveit a more authentic 70's feel,like the Grindhouse features of thatera.i loved the grittiness of it.it takes place in present time,thoughthere are a lot of elements from the seventies in it.there's a greatensemble cast in this one,and they pretty much allplay,quirky,damaged,oddball characters.this movie is not for the faintof heart though.they spared no expense on the blood and gutsfactor.there's also a lot of very frequent coarse language.myexpectations were very low going in,and they were shattered.i feel thisis one of the most clever movies made in quite some time.i give PlanetTerror a 5/5

This movie is great and the ones that watch it with me had a blast. Rodriguez had already indulged himself to his heart's content in From Dusk Till Dawn (Dimension Collector's Series) which was also about a group of people fighting off warring vampires in a night club from, as the name indicates, from dusk till dawn, which makes "Planet Terror" an encore exercise of pretty much similar plot, similar format and similar execution. As his other movies like El Mariachi (Special Edition) and Desperado (Special Edition) are themselves (quite stylish) derivatives of the exploitative genre, it is difficult to find any redeeming value in the repetition, even if it is done in zest and playful ribbing, which reduces "Planet Terror" a Cliff Notes' version to "From Dusk till Dawn".

"Planet Terror" features a giant cast of big names, small names, and names a few of us grin fondly at. The most fun, though, comes from the lead characters of Wray and Cherry, handled deftly in regards to pure entertainment by lesser-known Freddy Rodriguez Rose McGowan. Wray seems like an insignificant nice guy who drives a wrecker, but he has a mysterious past and combat skills that are brutally efficient. Cherry is a go-go dancer that used to be involved years ago with Wray and happens to find herself back in his company on the bloody night our story transpires. Watching Wray take charge of the survivors and kick butt all over is fun, doubly so because he is such a likable and unassuming hero. And Cherry, who loses one of her legs early on for the sake of "running" gags and a wonderfully absurd series of action scenes where a machine gun has replaced her leg, is mostly pleasant as a damsel in distress who must become an involuntary mistress of destruction.Read more ›
